THE Europa League final isn’t far off as Arsenal and Chelsea go for glory - but when is the final? Express Sport is on hand with all the details.
Arsenal: Valencia fans FLOOD streets ahead of match
Arsenal were the first team through to this season's Europa League final.
The Gunners secured a 3-1 victory at the Emirates last week thanks to goals from Alexandre Lacazette (2) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Mouctar Diakhaby’s header ensured an away goal for Valencia ahead of the second leg of the semi-final tie at the Mestalla Stadium but Unai Emery's side held off their opponents to claim a 4-2 win (7-3 agg).
Chelsea's task, though, required a bit more work.
Eintracht Frankfurt went in front in the first leg before Pedro equalised to make it 1-1 and give the Blues an important away goal.
The game finished 1-1 again at Stamford with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Luka Jovic among goals.
Extra-time followed but neither side could seal the win. The Blues eventually came out on top in the penalty shootout.
Liverpool and Tottenham booked their places in the Champions League final this week and all-English Europa League final will also take place.
Express Sport has rounded up all the details regarding the final of Europe’s second tier competition.
